[Advertorial] Prevview

Anyone heard of Prevview before? If you have not, allow me to briefly introduce to you alright? :)



Who are they and what they do/ provide?

Prevview, is the Asia's first interactive video job portal, which aims to help individual, companies and recruiters to differentiate themselves with the power of video resumes and profiles.
 

What makes them stand out from the crowd:

1) Dedicated Profile Page – Just like Facebook and it’s Free!
 
Imagine having a jobseeker profile where you can express your true self professionally and effectively. Your outstanding soft skills and vibrant personalities will no longer have to be dormant within a piece of paper. Prevview enables you to give a voice and personality to your paper resumes, through cutting edge video streaming technology. 
You no longer need to attach various documents to your potential employer. Speak to them directly through your visumés and let them know why you should be hired. Back your visumés up with downloadable important and relevant documents such as cover letter, resume, portfolio, and reference letters.
2) Two-Pronged Approach To Job Search
A) Search for Jobs with our comprehensive search function and apply immediately. Because our Employers are provided with unlimited job postings, jobseekers can rest assure that they will get the most updated job vacancies in town.
B) Be headhunted by registered Employers - All employers are provided with the Search capability where they can search for and request to interview candidates.
3) In-Depth Information about Employers
We all know the importance of research before going for an interview. We also know how important it is to understand a job scope before applying for a job – no one wants to come off as unsure or be taken by surprise during an interview.

To enable jobseekers to be as well prepared as possible, Prevview has created dedicated profile pages for employers as well! Everything you need from the HR Video, to Written Profiles and comprehensively described Job Postings to Getting Hired Tips and Q&A can be found under one roof, the Employer Profile Page.  

   
4) Visumé Guide
With our tech world ablaze with fancy gadgets, Prevview assures all jobseekers that making a visumé takes only 5 simple steps. Prevview.com is well furbished with a comprehensive video guide as well as Visumé tips and articles to help you along the way.


5) Privacy Settings

All profiles are viewable only by registered Employers. What’s more, our technology ensures that Employers will not be able to save your video on their computers!


And wait a minute! I got good news to share with all!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Visumé Wars Have Begun!

Prevview.com has declared an official Visumé War in Singapore. We call upon everyone from the age of 18-35* to step into the professional battle field, in a quest to differentiate yourselves – it’s talent vs talent, Visumé vs Visumé!

Unlike any other video showdown, this war appeals to every jobseeker’s most basic struggles. That is, to stand out from the sea of jobseekers with similar talents and credentials and, to prevent themselves from being lost under a stack of paper resumes.


Entry is simple and the prizes, amazing. Whether you are looking to get your hands on a beautiful iPad2 or a job position [or both!] with our participating partners, this is competition for you.


The power to conquer is in your hands!

All you need to do is put together a Visume – what we at Prevview call Video Resumes – that will show and tell us why you would make a great employee. You can sing, dance, rap, produce a movie or even sell a brick. Be it creative or professional, do it your way and boldly express your best self.


50 prizes to be won!**

43 participants from Category A and Category B who have received the highest People's Choice scores will receive $10,000 worth of attractive prizes. Seven out of all the participants the Special Category will be placed in amazing job positions at the participating company of their choice [Winners are subjected to the discretion of our participating partner].

So, answer the declaration for war now - Prevview is providing you the weapon and you just have to bring it!

*The competition is open to anyone in any country. However, collection of prizes will be done in the Singapore Prevview office.

**Please refer to our Assessment Criteria for more information. 

And with such so many attractive prizes, how can I resist joining in the fun too?! And... I... went... to.. join... in... the... fun.... (Embarrass) 



** Okay, it was taken in the wee hours, so pardon me for the unclear, soft spoken voice and the hardly recognizable face. >.< Please don't mock at me! Haha! Anyway, do join the contest too to win attractive prizes! Good Luck! :)

Anti-Aging Secrets

As many are not aware yet, I'm now an official guest blogger for a known beauty and lifestyle website, Cozycot.com. Every month, I will be covering topics ranging from beauty, relationships, careers, sex & life and so on, on CozyCot. So for the month of June, I will be covering beauty topics, and I'll start off with my first article specially done for Cozy Cot- Anti-Aging Secrets.



Anti-aging can be a rather difficult topic to address! Admit it or not, all of us will eventually gets older and aging is unavoidable. The truth is rather harsh, but its either you accept the fact and do something to it, or, you can just ignore it and continue aging. 


Even though most of us are under the age of 25, I see no reason not to think about anti-aging now! As for me, though I have just reach my early 20s, I'm already starting to find ways to keep my skin as young and healty as possible, and for as long as possible! 


I mean, take a look at those beautiful woman who still look amazing even if they are already in their 40s and above! Lets just take it for example the actress, Sarah Jessica Parker, whom starred for Sex And The City. She still look so fabulous not only from great genes, I believed its because she started taking care of her skin at an early stage! I'm not sure about you guys, but for me, I really envy those stars/ celebrities who still looks great, despite their age! 


Any Idea what causes skin aging? Sun Damage, smoking, pollution, lack of moisture, and last but not least, for some of us, its genetics issue. So, lets set apart from genetics issues. We still do have many ways to prevent our skin from aging so fast! All we need is just to spend a little more time and effort everyday, and we can minimise the skin from aging so fast! So what are they? 

Use sunscreen. 
We just need a good quality sunscreen, preferably SPF 15 or higher to prevent those harmful UV rays. Some of us might think that we only need sunscreen/ sunblock only when we're out in the sun. But that's not the case. From the moment we walked out of our door, we are already exposing our skin to those harmful rays. So its best we applied it on our face every day, and also, try to minimise the time spend out in the sun. In this case, it helps too! 
Use an exfoliant
Its recommended because it removes the top layer of dead skin cells, which improves skin texture, unclog pores, and makes our skin absorb moisturizers better! 



Eating more fruits and vegetables


Fresh, healthy food that contains Vitamin antioxidants can help protect against those free radical damage. Some of the examples are papayas, mangoes, oranges, grapefruits, berries, carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and spinach. Green tea is also a good antioxidant too, you might want to try that too! 



Last but not least, having regular sleeping hours not only makes you looks better, it also play a part to our skin aging too! I believe if all of us were to spend a little time and effort everyday, we can have better, healthier lifestyle, and also, delay our skin aging too!

Trust in Relationships

While browsing through the net to look for sources for my work, I came across this article and I can't help it, but to share with all here. Take a moment of your time to look through the article and think about it.

Trust in Relationships

Cr: Invade Space


Since it can bring a powerful bond of intimacy and credibility in a relationship, trust is highly critical for a society to exist. Life is always built of relationships with people, and trust is vital to fill friendship, honesty, love and passion in a relationship. Trust is considered the central pillar supporting a relationship, and is compared to the concrete foundation of a house. In other words, trust in relationships is a two-way street, demanding equal proportion of respect from either side to manage it effectively.

Any relationship, whether it is personal, business, organizational, community, family, love, or romantic, cannot survive without trust. But, unfortunately, trust in relationships is now rare. Lack of trust may have a negative impact on one?s life. It can destroy the glory of relationships, thereby paving way for jealousy and devastation. Hence, modeling trust in relationships is important to improve the value of a long term deal. Trust in relationships generally depends on how true we are in expressing our feelings to others, particularly to those who are very close to us.

However, it is quite difficult to gain trust in a relationship. Building trust in relationships need considerable effort, commitment and time. Here are some steps to build trust for the maintenance of a healthy relationship. The foremost step is to be predictable. Consistency should be maintained in all the activities you perform. Another vital step to build a healthy relationship is to make sure your words match the message. Belief in others, awareness of one?s needs, and ability to keep secrets are also important for building trust in relationships.

Honesty is also a key to build trust in any relationship. Factors such as insightfulness, responsiveness and unbiased opinions must be considered for winning trust in relationships. Once the trust is established, it can bring many benefits including huge profits with minimum cost, improvement in the reputation of a firm, and enhancement in the quality of relationships. Associate retention, effective communication, and motivation can also be gained through trust in relationships.

Suddenly, I have a thought. What if the trust is broken? Will there be any chances to mend back? Even if we managed to mend back all the things, wouldn't there still be a gap? Take it for example a broken vase, once its broken, its hard to fix it back to the original shape, even if it does, there would still be a thin gap line in between. And perhaps, if people were to be honest and truthful to the other party, the trust that they both have wouldn't even break. 

Trust, an easy word, yet, not all are able to do it. 

Just a penny of my thoughts. I'm thinking too much now a days. And perhaps, I should really stop thinking too much of the unnecessary things. Haha!

When you're too stressed up by the city life....

Made an impromptu decision to visit one of the known fish farm in Singapore, known as Qian Hu Fish Farm last weekend.

Its been years since I last went there. My last visit was years ago, during one of the school excursion, in which, we get to interview the boss over there. Is it me or is it that they really change rather much? I remembered that the last time that I was there, it was not as huge as now? I don't know. Haha!


I had fun there, though its a little boring, but, its always good to step out of the city life and take a stroll down those farm areas yeah? :)
Managed to take some pictures of it too! Okay, I admit, its not that much though! Haha!
